What keeps us moving forward when work gets tough?

In this episode, Graham and Paul explore psychological capital and the HERO framework—Hope, Efficacy, Resilience and Optimism. They unpack how these four developable strengths help individuals recover from setbacks, navigate uncertainty and keep performing, while showing leaders how to create the conditions in which their teams can thrive.

Richard heads back into our Revisited Series to one of our earliest podcasts (number 11 from October 2017), looking at Growth Mindset and what it brings to business situations.

A decade ago, a growth mindset was not considered a business tool, yet sometimes understanding where our mindset might be holding us back, acknowledging it, and adopting a more rational approach can help us move forward more quickly.

In this episode of the Qiestion, Paul and Graham explore what makes some people good at making decisions, while others can be a bit more hit-and-miss. We make thousands of decisions every day, from complex leadership decisions that impact our future and the future of others, right through to having that second biscuit with your tea!

Good decision-making requires a rational approach, as while our instincts can sometimes serve us well, more often than not they lead us to prioritise our immediate needs, overlooking longer-term considerations and consequences. Decision-Making Competence considers six areas that the best decision makers master, and Paul and Graham discuss how all of us can get better in each of these areas.
